Actually I am a Tor user.
> Since around Dec. 2015 Cloudflare almost certainly blocks **all** exit
nodes. If on some exceedingly rare occasion we aren't blocked is because
(a) the Tor network, and its consensus, is dynamic and cloud flare
obviously doesn't do live probing, it probably keeps a cached blacklist
that only updates every few weeks or so; (b) something that some
cypherpunks and people who actually have bothered to set up nodes know.
You might feel the blocking rate is higher than it actually is because the
blocking probability is proportional to the probability of the node being
selected. So there are plenty of Tor nodes that are unblocked, but the
chances of you selecting them are very small.
